It was a great thinking spot - sitting up high, looking out over the garden, and at this time of year it was covered in primroses - a soft, delicate blanket of yellow.

If you'd like to make a daisy to add to a <a href="http://jumbletree.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/egg-carton-flower-craft-for-mothers-day.html">spring flower posy from last time</a>, put one of your cut-outs on a ball of plasticine and push the closed tip of the small scissors through the middle of the paper. Don't make the hole too big.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">9. Push a pipe cleaner up through the hole and bend the top 3cm (1") over at a right-angle - then carefully spiral the bendy wire around itself, to make the centre of you flower. Push the paper back up under the pipe cleaner centre.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Making some flower bunting or a daisy chain is another fun thing to do with your cut-out flowers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">10. Find a longish piece ribbon or something similar, and cut to the length you want for your bunting. We used quite thin sequin braid, with a bit of sparkle, but to be honest thicker is better for stable bunting that doesn't swing about too much. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">11. Chose three different sized circles - for the outer petals, inner petals and the centre. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">12. A bottle lid makes a good centre circle template - we went for yellow middles, but pick whatever colour you like. Cut out flowers from the other bigger circles, and make enough of each to space out along your ribbon (roughly 20cm (8") between our flowers). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">13. Glue the centres in the middle of the inner petals, then brush a good amount of glue all over the middle section of the biggest flower and lay the ribbon over it, a little above the halfway point, to stop it flipping over when it's hanging up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">14. Next, dab a bit more glue on the back of the inner petals and stick them down over the ribbon and position so the petals are between the ones below.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">16. To make a daisy chain, cut out white flowers with yellow centres and glue them straight onto the ribbon. The small yellow centres can be more fiddly to cut, so, if you want </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;">just paint them on instead.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Egg boxes or egg cartons are perfect for making flowers. They're quick to do, and any wavy edges or ruffled tissue paper adds to the natural flower look, so it really is a winner!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<i><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You'll need:</span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">egg boxes</span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">paint</span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">PVA craft glue</span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">glue stick</span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">pipe cleaners</span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">coloured tissue paper (or coloured paper)</span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">small yogurt drink bottles or yogurt pots</span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">stickers, wrapping paper, ribbons for decoration</span></b></i><br />
<i><b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">small scissors (like nail scissors)</span></b></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b><br /></b></i>
For the roses and daffodils, cut out an egg cup - snip off any joins and don't worry about wavy edges or breaks in the cup, like this one - as I said, it all just adds to the petal effect.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mark half way down each side, in the middle, then draw from the mark to the corners. Cut out the triangles to form the flower.</span><br />

You may want to do this bit.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For a daffodil, use a smaller piece of orange or yellow tissue paper - 18cm/7"by 5cm/2"- you don't want it to unravel too much, so, once it's rolled up, brush some glue onto the loose end, to hold it together. Then dab glue in the centre of your yellow egg cup and stick the roll in place.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If the label comes off easily, like these ones, then stickers are a quick way to jazz them up. If you need to cover any writing, cut a piece of wrapping paper so it covers the middle section, or use some plain paper and draw your own design. A glue stick is best for sticking the paper down.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A ribbon tied around the top finishes it off nicely - I always hold onto any ribbons, and found this lovely, thick pink organza one. If you have something similar, tie it around the top of the bottle so there's a long and short end. Wrap the long end all the way around the bottle a few times, as tight as you can, until it's covered, then wrap back up to the top and tie to the short end.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Put a old piece of plasticine or playdoh in the bottom of the bottle to stop it tipping. Either add your flowers, one at a time - bending the pipe cleaner ends to get the height you want - or arrange the posy first, then bend the ends together and pop into a homemade vase.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You could display your flowers in bigger yogurt pots, like this. Stick the pipe cleaner stems into a ball of plasticine first, and when you're happy with the arrangement, pop it in the pot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cut any paper to decorate the outside into sections before gluing - this makes it much easier to stick evenly around the pot.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another idea we tried was using the rose cups to make a Mother's Day card, - very quick and easy! We cut the vase out of an old Birthday card.</span><br />

<br />
I started sharing some of the crafts I made with the kids, and slowly but surely realised I loved the challenge of coming up with new ideas. Happily, other people seemed to like them too.<br />
<br />
There are so many fantastic sites out there, covering all aspects of kids craft - so, I'm going to stick to what I know and what I enjoy, which is developing and adding to ideas to see where they go!<br />
<br />
This is what happened with <a href="http://patchworkparent.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/roll-up-to-zoo_1.html">Roll Up to the Zoo</a> - it started with a lion and a lioness, then there was zebra, followed by a giraffe…and the Zoo just kept on growing.<br />
Now we have all manner of creatures, with enclosures and trees and mini food…and this is what I mean by creating a scene!<br />
<br />
I found my (now 7 year old) daughter loved being involved in something we could build on - it made her think, and use her imagination. She came up with a few of the ideas herself, like the turtles and the flamingo. She learnt new skills that she could practice because they were repeated in the different animal projects. Cutting slots is a good example, and snipping round small shapes. I got some pretty outlandish requests too - like a whale, but that's what I love - finding ways to make things happen. (Haven't tried a whale yet, but we did make a shark!)<br />
<br />
And everything is made from stuff we all have at home - all that cardboard packaging that usually ends up in the recycling bin. This is another important part of Jumble Tree - making the most of what's already in the house. It's cheap, environmentally friendly and it's all just sitting there, waiting to be transformed into something!<br />
<br />
A pile of cardboard tubes, egg boxes and cereal packets is a pile of possibilities, but it's not an exact science - packaging varies, so it's important not to worry if your egg box looks different from the picture - be ready to adapt and work with what you've got. This really is half the fun - putting your own personal spin projects. Whatever you make will be unique, and that's the beauty of this kind of craft.<br />
<br />
Most Jumble Tree crafts are for school age children (5+) <b>Remember</b> to supervise all projects - you are the best judge of how much help your child needs, but let them have a go at some of the more challenging bits too - the more they do, the more fun they'll have, and the better they'll get.<br />
<br />
When I started blogging about the crafts I do with the kids, I had no idea where it might lead. Fast forward a few years and I'm now writing my first kids craft book, to be published in the summer. Still can't quite believe it!<br />
You just never know, do you.<br />
